DAY 04 (09 total) May 17, 2026
Today I ride from Florence, SC to Dublin, GA - around 250 miles (***changed)
Because of some planned construction I had to change my route at the last moment and I rode through Savannah, GA (I didn't have time to get into the city - I already extended today's leg from 249 miles to 295 miles - but all on the fast highways)
What Google says about the distance is never true. Most of the time I travel 20-30 miles more than the predicted distance. Also, it seems like I constantly ride with the speed 70-80 miles an hour, but what Google estimates on 4 hours it turns out more than 5 hours. Of course I stop a couple of times to get more gas and eat something, but not as much to change the calculation such a significant way.
You may ask why am I stopping in Dublin, GA, and not Savannah, GA. A good question. I was in Savannah a few times, beginning in the nineties on an assignment for Sotheby's. And then on a couple of trips South. A beautiful, and enchanting city...
However, this time my target is: Museum of Aviation — Warner Robins, Georgia
So, I will have a short 45 miles ride to the Museum, the next morning. I am planning to spend on the museum's grounds the whole day. Can't wait to see the original, real airplanes from the WWII to the current. It will be a blast.
At the end of the day 04 (09 total) I will have travelled around 1000 miles on that leg of the Journey.
The trip was so nice. All Sunny and hot (about 87 F) - that's the way I like it.
I arrived at Quality Inn in Dublin, GA, and barely had enough time to put a cover on my motorcycle when the heavy storm started (with lightnings).
